(v4260.00) Funding Surplus/(Deficit)

This account can help answer these questions:

  1. Will the company generate sufficient funds from its operations to pay its dividends without borrowing?

  2. Is the strategy "financially feasible," or would it require unacceptable amounts of additional debt?

  3. Is the strategy a cash generator or a cash drain in each period?

Funding Surplus/(Deficit) (v4260.00) is calculated as follows:

  (v4250.00)  Net Cash Provided
- (v1900.00)  Common Dividends
 			
= (v4260.00)  Funding Surplus/(Deficit)

Depending on Funding Options selected, a Cash Surplus is used to repay debt and invest in marketable securities; Cash Deficits are funded by reducing marketable securities and/or issuing additional debt.
